Synopsis

Cabin Attendant discovers that uniform pants and vest left at dry cleaners were picked up; according to the owner; but not by the Reporter.

Narrative

In December 2008; I had my uniform pants and a navy blue vest and 2 white shirts to be dry-cleaned. In January; when I returned from my vacation to pick-up my uniform; I gave the clerk the two pink receipts; but the clerk only returned my shirts and informed me that the pants and the vest were returned and discarded the receipts. I advised him that was not possible; but just to be sure I returned home to check my closet; my car trunk and any other location that my uniform could be; but for the last 15 years that I do business with them my dry-cleaned uniform is picked up on the return of my working trips. The owner of the establishment did show me that the pants and the vest were retrieved on the same day according to the computer entries that he did check out to me; so it's his word against my word and the thing that is not normal in this situation is that to pick up any order without the pink receipt I have to sign a release book. Today my pants; tomorrow could be my jacket and soon someone could have an entire uniform...please someone could you call this establishment to check this situation? I truly believe that this is not an isolated occurrence.
